Owning the Unknown

In "Owning the Unknown," Hugo Award-winning author Robert Charles Wilson explores the intersections of science fiction and religion, particularly focusing on Christianity. He posits that the imaginative world-building inherent in science fiction serves as a unique framework for examining the truth claims of various religions. Drawing from his own experiences as a writer and his extensive knowledge of the genre, Wilson introduces the concept of intuitive atheism, suggesting a perspective rooted in personal understanding rather than scholarly theology. He emphasizes that the mysteries lying beyond our current knowledge may challenge existing philosophies and sacred texts in profound ways.
